The Diary of a Notting Hill Nobody

Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

issue 17 January 2009

Sunday

Totally shattered. Up at dawn doing Dave’s bookshelves for Marr with Wonky Tom. He brought a heap of boring stuff and wouldn’t let me put Katie Price’s Perfect Ponies out. Insisted on some weird sci-fi books that only he would read. After bit of negotiation I managed to get Black Beauty on the bottom shelf. But when I watched the tapes later you couldn’t see it. I know Dave doesn’t want to look too horsey but surely it would have been better than the phonebook? Tom claims not. Says addition of Thompson Local was genius and made it look like Dave nips out to pick up pizza. Whatever.

Monday

Baffling stuff. Even though we are ahead in the polls, voters claim they still trust Gordon to run the economy more than Dave.
